The Back Pack, Ltd.

As part of my job interview in Salisbury on Monday they had me shoot a business down in Pocomoke City, about 26 miles south of Salisbury.  Things like this don’t usually make exciting photos, so in a situation like this where you are trying to show what you can do it becomes a necessity to work the scene as much as possible till you find something that works and isn’t necessarily as obvious.

In this case, you want to show off that this is a school supplies store while also having a person in the shot.  This means trying to incorporate two elements from the store into the photo and hoping it actually looks good.  Luckily I was able to come up with these first two and got an additional detail shot I liked.
